Signs Your Home or Business Needs a New Roof

Shopping for a new roof can be scary but it doesn’t have to be. The professionals at Cobalt Exteriors, Inc are ready to help you find the best options for your new roof. Some of the signs that it is time to call for our help can include:

• A roof that is older than 20 years
• Numerous repairs
• Outdated appearance
• Structural damage to your home or business from encroaching water
• Sagging roof pitches

Replacing a roof before it becomes critical is often the best choice. When a roof’s performance starts to fail it can cause a domino effect that can cause damage all around a home or business. By replacing the roof early, you can save money on unnecessary repair bills over what would be the final months of your roof’s life span.

With the competitive nature of the roofing industry, many roofing contractors stay booked up for months in advance, especially in the warmer months. Call Cobalt Exteriors, Inc today for a free estimate and to get on the schedule before your roof starts costing you extra money.

Choosing Roofing Materials

Choosing a new roofing material can be exciting because it can drastically change the look and style of your home as well as providing a waterproof covering. When it comes to choosing roofing materials there are several common styles that are commonly installed and each has certain benefits.

The most common residential roofing option is an asphalt shingle roof. The majority of homes in the US are roofed with asphalt shingles. They are cheap to buy, easy to install and they come in a variety of colors and options. Asphalt shingles last from 15 to 25 years before needing replacement.

The second most common roofing material is metal. Metal roofs can come in the form of panels or individual shingles. Metal roofs are not as cheap as asphalt but they last at minimum up to twice as long. They are available in multiple styles and colors so you have plenty of design options.

A local favorite roofing material here in the Northwest is the classic shake roof. Shake roofs are made of renewable cedar or redwood. The woods that make up shake roofs display natural insect, fire and rot resistance. The style and aesthetic appeal of shake roofs are unique and can’t be replicated by any synthetic material.

Benefits of a New Roof Installation

Installing a new roof gives the structure of your home or business a new lease on life. Among the many benefits of a new roof, some of them are:

• Energy Efficiency: Building technology has advanced greatly over the last few decades. As a result, properties can be made more energy-efficient by adding roof ventilation during a new roof installation.
• Style Updates: Older roofing material can start to look dilapidated or out of style. Infuse new life into your property with a new roof!
• Increased Property Values: According to realtors, a new roof will recoup as much as 80% of the installation cost when you go to sell your home. New roofs are also cited as one of the top-selling points for a  home.
• Fixing Hidden Problems: Structural problems can lurk beneath an old roof. Installing a new roof can fix all of the underlying problems that may not be apparent yet.
